No flag day or 4th of July celebration would be complete without a potato salad. This version is lighter and healthier that the tradition mayonaise only version but every bit as tasty. It's best made the day before. A great make-ahead classic side-dish so you can enjoy the day more.

Frittata is great for breakfast, it loads with all kinds of nutrition, and it is so flexible, you can add any your favorite vegetables, or some shredded chicken or bacon bits. In this recipe, using spinach, sweet red bell pepper and marjoram gives the frittata delicious flavor and lots of health benefits.

A great dinner for two! Chicken breasts marinated in oil, vinegar and Ranch-style dressing, then broiled to a beguiling finish. This is a wonderful chicken recipe that can be prepared in the morning and cooked when you get home at night. The longer you let it marinate, the better it tastes!

I love blueberries and this recipe has great taste. I make this a lot because you can use fresh or frozen blueberries, which I always have in the freezer.The tasty lemon sauce is the perfect topping for this tender cake. If you use frozen berries do not thaw before adding them to the batter.

A treasured memory of Christmas at Great-Aunt Elizabeth's house was a cookie that I never learned to eat in moderation. Although my mother warned me not to say anything, one of the first things I would say upon arrival was, "I'm hungry" hoping that these cookies would appear. Much to my delight they usually did, and in fact, began also to appear at Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and any other time we got together to celebrate.

This is an old Ruthenian peasant dish, very popular in the Carpathian Alps, as well as here in Fair Oaks, CA. Great for warming the tummy on a cold winter day. This is easy to prepare, and good as a luncheon dish served with salad, or as a first course soup prior to a lighter entree.

This is very tasty even if you can only add the grapes or the pineapple, but really good with both. People who don't like curry, and those who don't like fruit in their meat, LOVE this. It is very refreshing and a great treat for visitors who just had to travel on plane (or for any other dehydrated guests.) :)

A great way to use up day-old bread. I like preparing everything and assemble the casserole the night before, then pop the dish into the oven the next morning. The entire house smells "delicious" :) I do sometimes add some sweet bell pepper or broccoli, and my kids don't mind eating veggie this way at all!

Spicing up oatmeal in a healthy way. Cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger all have anti-viral properties, so if you are fighting off a cold in the winter (or any time of the year), this is a great recipe to try. For a little variety, you can make this exact recipe with quinoa, bulgar wheat, or amaranth.

Tofu is tossed with a mixture of honey, soy sauce and sesame oil, then baked in the oven, which develops delicious flavor and great texture. Mix together these yummy baked tofu cubes with cooked quinoa, carrots, and Asian seasonings. A flavorful dish that can be served as a side dish or a simply tasty main dish.

Salsa is such a great sauce that can go well with lots of things, it can be served with chips as a dip, or it can be put in the casserole as a sauce. And it is so quick and easy to make, chop a few fresh vegetables, throw them all together, here your freshly homemade salsa.

Made a bunch of these cranberry chews at the weekend, and they were so good. I used half whole wheat flour, which I usually do when I bake. I also used 1/2 cup coconut oil and 1/2 cup butter, and these bars came out wonderfully delicious. I have been enjoying them for breakfast and snack. I froze most of the bars. A great recipe.

This layer cake brings together the sweet and tender flavors of bananas with the rich and nutty taste of toasted walnuts, all layered together in a moist and delicious cake. This heavenly creation is perfect for those who love the combination of fruit and nuts, and it's a great way to use up those overripe bananas sitting on your counter.

I used to make this cake when I lived in Germany back in the 80's, and it always got raves. I lost the book the recipe was in during a move, and was really glad to find the recipe here. The cake is in the oven as I write! It makes a great coffee cake in the morning or for dessert.

Loaf leavened with yeast. Requires a bread machine. Here's one of my favorite breads to make. The trick here is to use stone ground cornmeal, not the powdered/bleached variety. It gives the bread a great flavor, and a really nice coarse texture. The combination of ingredients give it a very different flavor than standard banana/nut or pan-baked corn bread.

This is one of those "ooooof!" cakes. Between the chocolate ganache and the chocolate mousse filling you might break out in some butter sweats, but it is very worth it. The cake is fluffy and moist, the mousse cool and airy, and the ganache smooth and creamy. A great show off cake for special occasions. Best of all, really easy to make!
